Gosh, I hope that kind of policy doesn't affect my business too badly. Geez, that's what the "organic reach" people have been talking about.

"Organic reach?" The hell is that? It sounds decidedly...unsavory.

Organic Reach is how people see your posts from your total pool of "likers" It is compared with purchased reach, which is just that, paying for likes and shares and comments from unsavory accounts. We've prided ourselves on not purchasing any likes on our facebook page, and we try to interact with our community as much as possible, but it took us nearly 2 years to reach 500 likes.

There has been a lot of grump gathering momentum in the KS comments section.

I was joking!

Thank goodness.

If you really could glimpse into the future you wouldn't have said this....

Prepare to be disciplined!

From Facebook. Not sur it counts as news, but hey, it's something

That is one ticked off cat.

Good thing we're not dogs.

Ahh, it's not news YET.

But in next season's update they'll announce that they've been so quiet because they've pushed 80% of their resource into finalising the Easter Jinx alternate sculpt.......

Or that they postponed everything to get their next KS up and running, because priorities!

That's too realistic a scenario for me to want to contemplate......

I always did go for the Dream Crusher perk..



"I guess you're right. It was a silly idea. I'll just stick to doing what's important."

<-- Is at a loss for words.

Easter is totally RH's holiday. Someone got himself a martyr complex and then disappeared into a cave? Yep.

Well, to be honest, it's not quite a martyr complex in that they really did nail him to a cross. Not like he just said they did.

If someone needs to get nailed, I got a nailgun around here somewhere. Oh my that sounded deliciously dirty.

Yes. I just meant that I'm sure the Raging Heroes will say they got it just as bad.

Damned twitter-weaned pharisees.

Decided to check in on the KS comments and wow, they certainly took a turn for the critical since the last time I checked!

What?

Are you saying even the KS Comments page commentary has taken a turn for the realistic worse?[

Well, last time I checked it was still quite positive and full of "OH YOU GUYS, EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY."

No, it's been going downhill since the first week of April, but the last five days I'd say have been really spinning a wee bit out of control.

And they make valid points. I'd never thought of it this way, but success for TGG is not only measured in money grabbed, but also in the confidence the market invests into buying the models after they hit retail. If all that comes out of it aew a few production runs and "oh, that company." eye rolls, then this could very well be a debacle.

My FLGS already views them as "that company" because of this.

What if we just think of them as the wargaming equivalent to a drum rimshot into a slide whistle?

On the bright side we know they are alive.

Their communication is so bad, that something might happen to them and nobody would notice for a long time.

It should come as no surprise to any of you, but I too have been banned and booted from the Raging Heroes FB Page.

Now, that gak is amusing. Have you guys been posting there? I actually unfriended them myself several months ago, since I don't really use the facebook and wanted to cull some of the stuff I never use from my account. I wonder if this also means that they'll cancel and refund any orders you guys (or I, since my internet name's not exactly a secret) make?

Fairly petty as well. I can only guess that they must be unable to resist reading this thread from time to time, and that the snark has upset their delicate artistic sensibilities?

So, has the new IG codex changed what anyone is thinking about getting? I might change up some of my order, especially given the dramatic reduction in special characters available.

I was just going to get a selection of cool-looking characters. Since I had to drop my pledge down from the huge initial amount I had pledged to something much more modest. I mulled over increasing it again at some stage to get a few more characters, but then we had months of delays with no apparent progress, and now we're a month overdue for final fulfilment while not even having the pledge manager for Wave 1... so I might skip giving them more money, I think...

I wonder, how much of that sweet, sweet $698,548 is left, if at all, at this point?

I would guess not a lot - once funded, they immediately splurged on expanding their premises. New staff, and all those scrapped prototypes are gonna eat it up quick...

I don't know much about the company, do they have some sort of other regular cash flow too? Or do they just a small handful of other minis on a web store?

If it is the latter, then yeah, it probably is worth getting concerned if there's no models in hand in say 6 months.

Not that I know anything about economics, especially of living on France.

Some are full-time at the company I think, others part-timers. But yeah, other than the KS, all they have as a means of income right now is a small selection of minis, of which several limited release boxed sets are still around after release 1+ year ago.

Yep. I had to fight tooth and nail to make that program actually do anything.
